Branch ED #1 (API 42-383-32085) is a plugged well in Reagan County, plugged May 6, 2016, last operated by Diamondback E&P LLC.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit, issued October 19, 1981, permitted to 8,300 ft.
It was permitted by Saxon Oil Company and has since transferred to Diamondback E&P LLC on the wellbore schedule.
Its lease has reported 69.6K barrels of oil and 213K mcf of gas since January 1993, last reporting in June 2025. The lease carries 5 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
